Hello and welcome to our Big Buck Surveys Scam analysis where we take a look at another paid surveys online business model where companies claim that you can make Big Bucks just by filling out surveys. Is it true? We find out in this article.
What is it all about?
- Company: Big Bucks Surveys
- URL: www.BigBucksSurvey.com
- Price: Free
- Rating: 1 out of 5
This company is owned and operated by Vente Inc and has recently been taken over by Q Interactive. Unlike Opinion Outpost and Inbox Dollars, which are more traditional survey companies, Big Buck Surveys looks for leads to engage in free trials and offers and then sells them on to other companies.
So anything you participate in will be sold by Vente to other companies so they can continue to market to you.
How Does it Work?
Minimum sign up age is 18 years old and you must be a US resident. Big Buck Surveys will send you free offers via email and you will fill them out in exchange for cash.
Once you have full completed the survey, offer or trial you will be notified and go in to the draw to win cash prizes. The more trial offers you participate in the more you can potentially win.
How Can You Make Money?
There is no real guarantee that you will make any money. Every offer, free trial or online survey you complete will only put you in the draw to win something.
This means you could spend all day jumping through hoops for Big Buck Surveys and not make a cent!
Kind of pointless really?
You bet-cha. They all sorts of sweepstakes and $50,000 house make over competitions to entice you in to participating but the truth of the matter you have a very low chance of making much money at all.
Is it Legit or a Scam?
I feel the whole method of making money with Big Buck Surveys is questionable. I don’t throw around the scam word freely but this business does leave a bad taste in my mouth.
There are many complaints associated with Big Buck Surveys.
- They can take a long time to pay out – If you ever manage to make money with this expect at least 6 to 8 week delays.
- You have to pay for the products you test – So you can actually begin to lose money. This is far from ideal as we are looking for ways to make money!
- There is no such thing as privacy as by default Big Buck Surveys will sell your information to the highest paying company.
Is it Worth It?
Without a doubt I say the following with pure honesty and conviction…
Big Buck Surveys is NOT Worth it!
There are far better ways to make money online. Yes you can make some small money with cash surveys online but it is very hard to make any substantial amount.
Also it is very hard to do it consistently because you don’t always qualify for surveys and you won’t know this until you have spent the first 10 minutes filling out the application form.

Big Buck Surveys definitely don’t sound worth the trouble. Thank you for letting us know about this survey scam. When I’m searching the web to make money I’m thankful for individuals who tell it like it is.
Hi Beau, As usual you have given an excellent review. I really enjoy reading your reviews because you give very clear and honest information.
I can see that Big Bucks is just another scam. Thanks for saving me the wasted time of trying to find out for myself.
These survey websites like this are not worth any ones time you only get pennies for most or can’t qualify for the higher paid survey . This is coming from some one who has personally tried online surveys. I really like how you have provided so much information about this survey site.
I enjoyed your review on Big Bucks survey. I have heard of similar things to this and do not trust surveys that claim to make you lots of money just by taking them. How? Anyways, nice job! I would add your affiliate link though when you talk about Wealthy Affiliates. And why do you stop talking about it after you mention it? Even though I know what it’s all about, I still want to hear what you have to say!
Excellent website. I’ve got a roommate, who is disable and wants to learn how to make money online. Anything that helps her out is a good thing.
Hi Beau!
Wow I will say it: Big Buck Surveys does sound like a scam! You have to pay for the products you try? Wow, that is ridiculous! And on top of that, you do not make money directly but you are entered into a draw! Well I might as well buy a lottery ticket, as I would have as much chance at making money that way. I mean what a waste of time! Because God knows those surveys can take a while to fill out. I would be mad if I were to spend the time on them expecting to be paid only to find out that I have been entered into a draw…
